Hey Andrew,,In most cases you want the disc to be "firmly" attached to the shaft with no or absolutely no potential to slip on the shaft. Most applications of disc to shaft attachment usually employ a "key" to lock the hub to the shaft. When that method is used, it becomes easier to rotate the whole motor or use the "Variac/capacitor" phase shifter. I had attempted to use the clamping type hub on a standard round motor shaft and found that even with the slightest imbalance of the disc, the hub would eventually work loose and begin to slip on the shaft, thus throwing the "timing" out of wack.... so I went back to the keyed shaft and rotating motor mount system. Much easier to rotate the motor a couple of degrees than trying to hold the nub of the shaft and twist the disc into position. Plus it is a bit more intuitive to rotate the motor in the direction of correction. Doing the disc rotating thing, its backwards of the direction one needs to go to advance or retard the timing.

So why does everyone devise a way to rotate their SRSG motor in its mount rather than rotate the disc coupling on the motors shaft. Seems like a lot more work to rotate the motor than to rotate the disc... Is this just because someone did it first and everyone else followed like sheep, or is something wrong with my logic?_______________________________________________ Tesla mailing list Tesla@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.pupman.com/mailman/listinfo/tesla
